Items in detail will be found in statement
oi auditor attached hereto. Ihls, as compared
with the estimates for operating expenses OF
state government for the two years ending
March 81, lss7, is an increase of S927, 1913.
Your special attention is called to the amount
due tina state from the respective counties for
the care of patients in the hospital for the
insane the amount due TO date, January /,
1887, being Sl19 1857. This fund, which has
heretofore been used in the construction of
additional buildings for the care of the insane,
was not appropriated by the last legislature.
The counties are protected IN THIS regard by
the provision OF law authorizing collection
from the property OF patients, or from those
legally bound Tor their support, OF any sums
paid by the county in their behalf. An action
OF mandamus was brought by the attorney
general To compel one of our counties to levy
tax for the amounT due the state for this
purpose. The action was defended on the
ground that the law was unconstitutional,
claiming that the state had once advanced
the amount from the general fund, which had
been paid by each county in the state, includ-
ing the, defendant county. Our supreme
court held against this proposition, and that
each county should be liable To the state for
the amount 80 paid Tor the care of its insane.
The present law governing assessments of
property for the purposes of taxation would,
II strictly complied with, in great measure
elualize the burden of taxation, and at the
same time make most favorable showing as
10 the resources OF the state. This great
want is that of uniformity. The provision
OF law relating 10 the value of property has,
by common custom, which in this matter
rises superior To statute, been construed TO
mean its value for the purposes only OF tax
alton. as distinguished from its real value for
purpose of sale or exchange, which, cOnSld-
erred with reference 10 the amount Ofreycnue
necessary 10 be raised Tor government needs,
gives the result of a low and varying yalu-
auon, with high and unequal rate OF taxes.

one person, q resident of New York,
and is worked upon its merits. "One
level only has been run in upon the
vein for 800 feet or more, and some
100 tons of ore, assaying from 900
to e16O per ton, have been taken out
Of the mine.
THE pARKxR GROUP.
One OF the mcss remarkable Of the
Wood River mining properties is
known ~ the Parker group, now in
borrasca, but when in bonanza turned
out exceedingly rich ore at . small
cost, paying all expenses of develop.
ment and heavy dividends from the
FIRST discovery At gopher hole by .
small boy.
THE GOLD BELT.
Discoveries Of gold bearing quartz
veins in the granite formation, about
ID miles west of Haley, have excited
considerable prospecting and atten-
ton of late. The Camas No. 2 is in
this belt, and is equipped with a 90
stamp mill and Frue commentators.
From 90 to go in value of gold is
saved on the plates, about as much is
lost in the taifings, and . ton of con-
centrates is obtained from about 20
tons of ore. These concentrates, con.
sisting chiefly Of iron pyrites with
gold. are much desired BY the smelt-
ing works, particularly if dressed so
clean as not to carry over 10 per cent.
of silica.
RAILROAD BUILDING.
The construction of the Wood
River Branch of the Oregon Short
Line has made the whole region easily
accessible, and the change is most
appreciated by those who used to
reach Wood River by stage across
the Snake river lava beds. Lateral
branches are still in contemplation,
particularly one from HALEY to the
Gold Belt and Smoky.
SMOKY DISTRICT.
This district, some 20 miles north.
west of Haley, is now attracting con-
siderable attention. Since the roads
have become passable, OK teams are
daily fetching in rich smelling ores,
chiefly galens, with some pyrite and
blsnde. The veins are said to be
we'll defined and to have a quartz
gangue. Most of the ore requires
concentration. Several Of the princi.
pal properties are owned by Salt Lake
parties. The district has produced SO
far about $500, 900 worth Of ores, but
1t is in its infancy. Most of the mines
are in FIRST hands and are worked
without much capital.
Among the numerous claims, spe.
cial mention may be made of the Car
RE Leonard, opened by three tunnels,
giving three working levels. 1t has
produced largely, and has paid about
100000 in dividends, and has some
eight months of ore production opened
up. The claim has concentrating

some 400 feet on the vein. The
owners are erecting hoisting-works

The Tyrannis, south of the King Of
the West, has drift 500 feet long,
showing three different pay-ohutes.

way from the start.
